Goran,

As Herfried always writes: Please remove the spam from your replies otherwise you are helping to distrubute the spam?

What are you talking about? You have no idea what's happening, do you?

He's talking about the fact that you replied to spam (not a good idea), and in doing so _quoted_ the entire spam (also not a good idea), and even managed to include every newsgroup that was posted in the original spam (also not a good idea).

No offense intended, but IMHO Cor's reply to you was not only right at the mark, it's remarkably similar to messages I myself have posted in reply to others who have replied to spam, especially when they quote the spam.

Please don't reply to spam, and if you must reply please do not quote the spam in your reply. Otherwise, you're just allowing the spam to reproduce.
